BIG IDEA 2: MAKING PEACE<br />
Having glimpsed <strong>the</strong> abyss–culturally, politically–many artists are <strong>for</strong>ging a<br />
path ahead with great optimism and are making peace not war. Some of <strong>the</strong><br />
work in this series is, indeed, an overtly political cry to halt violence. O<strong>the</strong>r<br />
series artists approach <strong>the</strong> idea of peace from an individual perspective–creating<br />
a sacred sense of well-being that illuminates our humanity. Some reach across<br />
political and artistic boundaries to collaborate with o<strong>the</strong>rs with a sense of humor<br />
and a desire to reflect <strong>the</strong> good and <strong>the</strong> beautiful in human nature and <strong>the</strong><br />
world around us. What springs from our engagement with art is a redemptive<br />
<strong>for</strong>ce that gives us power to re-make our world anew. Join us <strong>for</strong> this series<br />
and see how artists are pointing <strong>the</strong> way <strong>for</strong>ward with hope, with imagination<br />
and with courage.<br />
